This guidebook presents new data, new interpretations, and regrouped and reorganized older data on the igneous province of the Wichita Mountains. As such it adds to the existing literature, but, in particular, does not supplant the in-print...

The thick intracratonic succession of Middle Ordovician rocks exposed in the Arbuckle Mountains of south-central Oklahoma is critical to the understanding of North American Middle Ordovician biostratigraphy. Many previous biostratigraphic studies...

Research reported at the symposium includes petroleum exploration and development, structure, sedimentation, diagenesis, petrography, geochemistry, biostratigraphy, dolomitization, and paleokarst. We hope that the symposium and these proceedings...

Researchers active in Arkoma Basin and Ouachita Mountains geology presented papers and poster at a field symposium in Poteau, Oklahoma in October 2004 on a wide variety of topics pertinent to resource evaluation in this part of the southern...

Research reported upon at the symposium focused on the following: types of FDD reservoirs, depositional settings, diagenetic history, reservoir characterization, and enhanced oil recovery. In describing the various FDD petroleum reservoirs in the...

Conclusions: * Lower Booch Sandstone deposits in Dustin and surrounding area are Chenier ridges deposited by shore line accretion in sequence along the Arkoma Basin shelf edge (hinge line). * There appears to be evidence of erosion and reworking of...

The goal of the present study is to provide an Arkoma Basin Model for strata of the Late Ordovician to Early Mississippian age. The area covered extends from R. 4 E. eastward to the Arkansas border and including the Bonanaza Gas Field of western...

This report is composed of two papers (Parts I and II) on the biostratigraphy, lithostratigraphy, and paleoenvironment of the latest Ordovician (Hirnantain) and Early Silurian strata in the southern Midcontinenet region of the United States. These...

Research reported upon at the symposium includes work on basin history, sedimentation, stratigraphy, tectonics, petroleum exploration, source rocks, thermal history, oil characterization and migration, and hydrogeology. It is our hope that the...

The Oklahoma Geological Survey and The University of Oklahoma jointly sponsored the Forum on the Geology of Industrial Minerals, held in Norman at the Oklahoma Center for Continuing Education on the campus of The University of Oklahoma. Technical...

This volume contains two papers on the structural geology of the Ouachita Mountains of Oklahoma and Arkansas. The first, by J. Kaspar Arbenz, incorporates new data and new structural concepts to explain the sruface and subsurface geology of the...

This guidebook is a companion to Oklahoma Geological Survey (OGS) Special Publication 98-7, The Hartshorne Play in Southeastern Oklahoma: Regional and Detailed Sandstone Reservoir Analysis and Coalbed-Methane Resources, by Richard D. Andrews and...

This guidebook provides an introduction to new research on the geology of mineral resources of the southern part of the Arkoma Basin and the northern part of the Ouachita Mountains in southeastern Oklahoma and the adjacent Arkansas. This guidebook...

The primary objective of this study was to prepare a geologic map of Payne County and to describe the general geologic features. Determination of paleocurrent directions and general depositional environments of Pennsylvanian and Permian rocks in...

The geologic study of Noble County was undertaken for the purpose of compiling a geologic map and summarizing general geologic features including those with economic significance. The map, which presents a framework for stratigraphic studies, has...

The Forum on the Geology of Industrial Minerals is an annual meeting during which representatives of industry, government, and universities discuss the problems of geology, exploration, evaluation, and production of our important industrial...

Research reported upon at the symposium focused on structural geology, tectonic evolution, petroleum reservoirs in various structural settings, development of oil and gas resources, geophysics, and neotectonics. In describing the various...

Research reported upon at the symposium focused on the application of new technologies and new interpretations of existing data to finding new petroleum deposits., The symposium covered a wide range of topics, including seismic and well-log...

In 2012, Oklahoma ranked 32nd in the U.S. for non-fuel mineral production with a value of $651 million, according to the National Mining Association. Oklahoma is ranked 1st in the U.S. for gypsum production of 5.8 million tons, according to the U....

Research reported on at the symposium focused on limestones and dolomites deposited in shall-marine, platform (shelf) environments. These carbonates are major sources of oil and gas in the southern Midcontinent, and they have great potential for...

Research reported upon at the symposium focused on geology, depositional settings, reservoir characterization, diagenetic history, enhanced oil recovery, and horizontal drilling. In describing the various petroleum reservoirs in the Simpson and...

The purpose for this guidebook is to expose the reader to the basics of Hunton Group stratigraphy and lithogacies analysis as they are exemplified at the surface in the Arbuckle Mountains. An attempt to bridge the gap between subsurface mapping...

The Oklahoma Water Resources Board (Board) is required by law to conduct hydrologic surveys and investigations of fresh groundwater basins to characterize the availability, extent and natural hydrologic conditions of the resource. The Board is...

The geologic map of the Leonard quadrangle was compiled from detailed field mapping and field investigations by the author. The geology was manually constructed onto a modern 7.5¢ topographic quadrangle for ultimate publication at a scale of...

Research reported upon at the symposium focused on meteorite-impact craters, exploration, hydrocarbon occurrences, reservoir characterization, geochemistry, remote sensing, recognition criteria, and alternative interpretations for the origin of the...

This guidebook discusses and describes aspects of the Slick Hills (sometimes referred to as the "Limestone Hills"), which are a low range of bald hills lying north of the igneous Wichitas. As presently exposed, the Slick Hills are fragments of the...

This guidebook is a companion to Oklahoma Geological Survey (OGS) Guidebook 29, "Geology and Resources of the Eastern Frontal Belt, Ouachita Mountains, and Southeastern Arkoma Basin, Oklahoma," which provided information on the area to the east and...

This study was to determine areas where water quality has been degraded and the potential sources of the degradation. Chemical-graphical and geophysical methods were used to identify areas and sources of degraded water.

This guidebook was prepared for a Pander Society field trip held March 3-4, 1990, prior to the 1990 annual meeting if the South-Central Section of the Geological Society of America at Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, Oklahoma, March 6-9. The...
